Not Enough Love In The World
From the album - Building the Perfect Beast (1984)
Songwriters: Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, Benmont Tench
Intro:
x2
Verse:
Sometimes I wonder, where it is love goes
I don't know if even heaven knows
I know you had some dreams that didn't quite come true
And now I'm not the one, little girl, who's keepin' you
Chorus:
I was either standing in your shadow or blockin' your light
Though I kept on tryin' I could not make it right
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world
Verse:
I know people hurt you so bad
They don't know the damage they can do and it makes me so sad
How we knock each other down just like children on a playground
Even after that ol' sun went down
Chorus:
I was either standing in your shadow or blockin' your light
Though I kept on tryin' I could not make it right
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world
Bridge:
Oh darlin', this is still a shady little town
And sometimes it's so hard to smile
For the world, for the camera and still have somethin' left
You don't have to prove nothin' to nobody
Just take good care of yourself
Verse:
I'm not easy to live with, I know that it's true
You're no picnic either, babe and that's one of the things I loved about you
Time will come around when we need to settle down
Got to get off this merry-go-round
Chorus:
I was either standing in your shadow or blockin' your light
Though I kept on tryin' I could not make it right
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world
Outro:
For you girl, there's just not enough love in the world
x4
Not enough love in the world
In the world, in the world, in the world
